Dispatched team leader after three points (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sent

'dispatched' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'team leader after three points' is the wordplay.
'leader' says to take the initial letters.
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'three points' becomes 'sen' ().
The initial letter of 'team' is 't'.
't' after 'sen' is 'SENT'.

(Other definitions for sent that I've seen before include "Shipped" , "old money in Tallinn" , "Remitted" , "charged with emotion?" , "Dispatched" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
